If you have ever visited my website or read previous blog entries you will be aware that I collect, transcribe and add information about those whose names are carved in stone or wood, cast in metal or written in a book and then add to my websites for all to view.

Do you have access to a digital camera, know of any war memorials from any conflict.  I have 100’s of memorials transcribe and many more to do, but there are 1,000’s of village memorials, company memorials and private memorials still out there waiting a visitor with a camera who would pass the photographed memorial over to me for the transcription process.

All I would as that you do is photograph the whole memorial – it’s always nice to see the actual memorial.  Then all you have to do is photograph the names so that they can be transcribed.  If the names are in panels, I normally photograph the whole panel, then photograph sections within the panel – making for a good image when transcribing.

For this you will get my thanks and your name put to the photograph used and a note saying that you were the person who made the transcription possible.

You can contact me at memorials@wakefieldfhs.org.uk for further information or to see if I already have your village, town or company memorial.

Memorials for the Wakefield area can be found here

and those from everywhere else can be found here simply click on the county or country link.

So, if you are from the UK, Eire, Europe, America, Canada, Australia or any where else, please contact me with your war memorials from any conflict.

Very much looking forward to hearing from you all.
